Air Cleaner Service

Dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine per-
formance. If you operate the mower in very dusty areas, clean the air clean-
er more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
NOTICE
Operating the engine without an air filters, or damaged filters, will allow dirt
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not
covered by the Warranty.

cleaner cover.
2. Remove the filter elements from the air cleaner housing, and remove the
